“Neither had a collar or identification tags and they weren’t micro-chipped,” PIP Police Sgt. First Class Raymond E. Walter said of the two pooches found walking on the PIP, one on Saturday, the other on Sunday.
“It appears that they may have been abandoned along the highway since it’s extremely rural there and both were found in the same area,” Watler said.

Anyone with any information on the dogs or their owner(s) is asked to call Palisades Interstate Parkway Police: (201) 768-6001.
